Situated on a slight slope with Killane Hill visible to the NW. Poorly preserved site which has been almost totally levelled and covered in overgrowth. A circular area (C c. 17m NW-NE) defined by a bank (Wth c. 1m, ext. H c. 1.5m) from NW-E. No other visible surface remains. Original entrance not identifiable. A small road has cut through the site with one half of the monument totally levelled.
